I use a kill script (taskkill war3.exe) for this, configured on a global hotkey (via *.bat.lnk) In case windows fails to recover from such a driver crash, you can still recover your potentially lost work terminate war3 without allowing yourself to be forced into rebooting your whole machine. 'C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe' -window If you want TFT in windowed mode, the method is the same: 'C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Warcraft III -hacked.exe' -window If you have a hacked/cracked version of Warcraft III, your executable might be renamed to something like Warcraft III -hacked.exe. 'D:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe' -window For example if your Warcraft is on your D drive, then use: If you did not install Warcraft to it's default directory, then you will have to replace C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\ with the correct path. Your Warcraft now runs in windowed mode if you use the shorcut.
Type in 'C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe' -window.Right click on an empty area of your desktop.In this posting, I will teach you (if you didn't already know) how to create a shortcut that runs Warcraft III in windowed mode.
